Overview

Nestled in the breathtaking northeastern state of Sikkim, bordered by Tibet, Bhutan, and Nepal, the Green Lake Trek offers trekkers an unforgettable journey filled with stunning views of the majestic Kanchenjunga and surrounding peaks like Mt. Siniolchu and Mt. Simvo. This glacial lake, renowned for its picturesque ambiance and clear waters, is a must-visit for nature lovers, providing a sense of fulfillment that comes from traversing high-altitude paths. The trek starts from Lachen and meanders through Zema, Tallem, Jakthang, Yabuk, and the Rest Camp, ultimately leading to the enchanting Green Lake, which historically served as a pre-war expedition route to Mt. Kanchenjunga and Everest via the Zemu Glacier. Along the way, trekkers enjoy fresh meals and drinks while capturing the stunning beauty and forging new friendships. However, the trek demands good physical fitness and proper acclimatization due to its challenging terrain, particularly the trail from Jakthang to Yabuk, which winds through alpine forests and small streams, ensuring an unforgettable trekking experience in the heart of Sikkim.
